+++ Fire at EU Building +++

According to Associated Press “There was no panic as EU workers stood outside of the building in Brussels”. An EU spokesman tells the BBC that the fire broke out in the press room of the EU building – “There are no reports of casualties”.

UKIP possibly getting a little carried away with their anti-EU campaign…

    OT

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5342942/Gordon-Brown-leaves-Speaker-Michael-Martins-future-in-doubt-MPs-expenses.html

    ‘Mr Brown’s spokesman said that, once the motion had been tabled, it would be “for business managers and the Leader of the House (Harriet Harman) to consider” whether it [Gorballs Mick no confidence motion] should be debated.’

    So there you go, everybody. It’s for Harriet Harman to “consider” ….

        Luckily for them they have a spare building in Strasbourg. I suspect French secret service doing a Rainbow Warrior on the Brussels building.

    Local scuttlebutt here is that workers from Electrabel, the leading moronic Belgian utilities provider, were fiddling about with some old gas piping close to the press room and started the fire accidentally.

    One thing I will say for the European Commission: no one can accuse them of basing themselves in this sh!ttery of a wet, cold, stupid, stupid city peopled with absolutely incompetent service providers for pleasure. If the EC was half the trough people think it is, they’d at least have chosen a city that makes some f#cking sense for the headquarters.

      Cameron just stuck Brown on a very sticky wicket, call an election or ignore the people.

      I have to say that was a very good press conference, he made a good case for handing this to the people, all mp’s must put themselves forward for reselection and telling constituencies they hvae the power to change the mp.

      Its what people want to hear that someone understands and wants to give them the power. Good on the referendum stuff also.

    David Cameron says:

    We need to clean up politics(and my chimney for a swift £680) and move on.
    At least members of my party have the good taste to fiddle for porticos, Wisteria trimming and moat dredging.
    The plebs on the other side of the house fiddle for porn, pork pies and in the prime Mentalists case subsciptions to Sky channels that feature young men in tight shorts kicking a ball about.
    I say that The prime Mentalist needs to call an election and call it it now.

    “The smell of burning bacon was overwhelming in Brussels. The fire was uncontrollable as the 2 receipts present in the building were set on fire. Thank god they have a back up building in Strasburg or they would not be able to continue working”.

        Heads on poles says:

        The difference between a Tory Government and a Labour government is that a Tory government will tell you when you are going to be shafted and when asked, say that they shafted you.
        A Labour government will shaft you, tell you they are not going to shaft you, shaft you again then have an enquiry and sell the outcome to you that they didn’t shaft you.
        But you’ve still been shafted – twice.

        Your choice really.

    camerblair is represented by the ”green smudge”as a party symbol,swivel eyed he will rightly fear ukip,i hope any tories stoopid enough to think we only take votes from disgruntled tory voters,we take from old-labour as well.

    how can dave horrible-but dim become pm,when he cannot even take care of his bike.
    if he should come to sarf london it could be tempting to give him 3 adams apple.
